Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

"Hmph." Chen Jiujie snorted coldly, ignoring these mortals who were unaware of his divine power. His blue eyes were filled with icy coldness as he looked down at the people of the Sun Moon Empire, as if he were a god looking down on mortals.

In his view, even the two gods of Rakshasa and Angel from ten thousand years ago were defeated by the Sea God. How could these short-sighted mortals possibly turn the world upside down?
Although the Sea God had given orders not to interfere when the Sun Moon Continent clashed with the original Douluo Continent, this time the descendants of the first Sea God's mount are involved. If they do not submit, they will inevitably pay the price, and the ocean will submerge part of their city-states.

"Um?!"

A look of disbelief flashed across Chen Jiujie's eyes. The white-haired old man turned to look in the direction of the Sun Moon Empire. Before the eyes of everyone present, his aura weakened at a visible speed. The power of the sea no longer supported him. Although he was still a genuine Limit Douluo, he no longer possessed that oppressive aura that was close to that of a true god. His helmet, which had originally radiated an extraordinary spiritual light, also dimmed at this moment.

what happened?

Has someone stolen the power of the sea?!
impossible!
His divine helmet was personally crafted and bestowed upon his family by the second-generation Sea God!

"Oh?"

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in this world.

Unbeknownst to everyone, a sudden, towering spray erupted from the calm sea behind the Sun Moon Empire fleet. A white figure burst forth, leaping over the massive warship and landing on the sea in front of it, carried by the waves like subjects surrounding their king.

“There’s one more…” The black-haired boy stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Demon Soul Great White Shark’s dorsal fin. The world’s friendliness turned into a cold chill at this moment, like a god sitting in the heavens, instantly attracting everyone’s attention. His dark eyes fell on Chen Jiujie, and An Zhen instantly noticed the power of the sea god on the azure helmet. “A lackey of the Sea Soul Beast?”

"Xiuxiu!?" Little White, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, exclaimed with delight upon seeing his beloved daughter appear and seemingly in good condition. The next second, upon seeing the human standing on his daughter's head, his grey-blue eyes instantly filled with rage. "Damn human, let go of my daughter!"

In her anger, Xiaobai sensed something was wrong.

For some reason, she sensed a familiar aura emanating from this human.

"Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!"

"Waaah, Mother, your son has made something of himself! He's met His Highness!"

Cheers erupted from the Sun Moon Empire's fleet, their morale soaring instantly. What had been a stalemate had transformed into a fierce battle, with everyone on the Sun Moon Empire entering combat mode, their eyes blazing with excitement and a burning desire for victory, as if it were already within their grasp.

the other side.

The sea princess pulled the agitated little white dog back.

"Wait a minute, Xiaobai, didn't you notice something was wrong?"

At the same time, Chen Jiujie, who had previously acted like an unparalleled master, quickly retreated back to the sea spirit beast's camp, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Chen Jiujie, the strongest fighter on the Sea Spirit Beast side, and the Sea Princess, who wore a golden crown and was no less powerful than the Evil Eye Tyrant in the ocean, exchanged a glance and could see the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Through their connection to the sea and their powerful spiritual strength, they were surprised to find that the sea's power was protecting the person whom the humans called His Highness.

why?
One of them is a descendant of the first Sea God, possessing a divine artifact related to the sea bestowed upon him by the second Sea God. The other is a native sea spirit beast with a cultivation level of 600,000 years.

under these circumstances.

The ocean actually chose the other side!?

No matter how they called out, the sea never answered them.

"Who are you?" Chen Jiujie looked at An Zhen warily.

An Zhen did not answer the other party, her dark eyes casting a cold gaze, "A descendant of the first sea god?"

"Yes."

"You've sided with the Sea Spirit Beast?"

"We bear the responsibility of protecting the sea," Chen Jiujie said, his tone completely devoid of his previous arrogant demeanor. "The Sun and Moon Empire has offended the Sea God's majesty and should atone for their mistakes. You, chosen by the power of the sea, should stand on our side, on the Sea God's side."

"Ha~"

His response was a cold laugh, laced with mockery and sarcasm.

An Zhen raised her right hand and looked at the back of her hand, where a golden trident pattern appeared.

With a portion of the power from the Trident of Poseidon bolstering him, An Zhen felt incredibly powerful, especially amidst the vast ocean. The azure sea beneath him seemed to become a part of him, every drop of water a part of his perception. His mental aura seemed to have expanded many times over; nothing in this ocean could escape his notice. The movements of every sea spirit beast, even the mental network formed by hundreds of sea princesses, were clearly visible to him. Although he didn't feel omnipotent like in the virtual world, he felt that this boundless ocean was merely something within his grasp.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a super artifact.

Even if it unleashes only a fraction of its power, it would still be a devastating blow to anything below the level of a god. Moreover, this is in its area of ​​expertise—the ocean.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Chen Jiujie's face turned ashen. He was, after all, a Limit Douluo, and a noble descendant of a god. This person had been belittling him ever since they appeared; it was utterly disrespectful!

An Zhen completely ignored the other person.

Let me find out where Xuan Ziwen is.

An Zhen looked at the level nine soul masters on the warship behind her and asked, "Specific casualties."

"Xuan Ziwen has been confirmed to have been captured alive by the Sea Princess, and the fate of his six entourage members is unknown," the level nine Soul Master replied.

"I ate it!" A strange voice suddenly rang out, and a giant crab with a bluish-green body, twelve meters wide and six meters high, resembling a city wall, danced out. Able to speak human language, without any special abilities or bloodlines, it could only be a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

A pair of large, gleaming pincers still bore traces of blood. Upon closer inspection, the area around its mouthparts was even more bloody. Its body was covered in barnacles, and the hideously ugly crab let out a strange cry, "Hehehe, human boy..."

"Shut up!" An Zhen said coldly, extending one hand forward in a palm shape.

In an instant, the calm sea suddenly became extremely turbulent. A thick, azure pillar of light shot into the sky from An Zhen's body. The moment it revealed its extraordinary power, almost all the sea spirit beasts present felt it. It was the power of the sea. The power of this vast ocean gathered in one person, and deep blue ripples appeared in the void. The invisible fluctuations were like the breath of the sea, as if a great being had descended upon this place.

"die!"

A cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.

The immense power of the ocean swept towards the 100,000-year-old crab—or rather, it had already arrived, for they were currently in the ocean, in the vast expanse of water. The ocean, which the sea spirit beasts had always considered home, now and in the future, suddenly erupted with immense repulsion towards them. The mental net formed by hundreds of mermaids collapsed instantly, and the neatly arranged army of sea spirit beasts seemed to have been slapped to both sides by two invisible, gigantic hands. Even the Sea Princess, with her cultivation of 600,000 years, and Chen Jiujie, the level 99 Limit Douluo, avoided its onslaught. The power of the ocean was already deeply imprinted in their minds; how could they dare to resist it under such sudden circumstances?

A vast, empty space instantly appeared. Everything seemed to have happened in a flash. The hideously ugly, bluish-green crab still stood bewildered on the waves, its menacing mouthparts spewing blood-tinged bubbles. "Stop!" Chen Jiujie roared, almost instantly understanding An Zhen's intentions. Relying on his powerful cultivation, he was about to rush forward when a protective barrier, as radiant as moonlight, suddenly blocked his path.

In an instant.

The sacred blue-gold aura enveloped the incredibly ugly, 100,000-year-old crab.

An Zhen clenched her right hand into a fist.

"what--"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Then came the sound of hard bone armor shattering.

An Zhen casually tossed it. The blue-gold orb, compressed to more than half its original size, landed on the warship behind him, and six storage soul tools, seemingly corroded by some kind of liquid, fell out. At the same time, a gray light entered it, pulling out a phantom crab soul that looked bewildered and terrified.

Anzhen threw the crab's soul into the undead demiplane.

I can't let you die so easily. It's also a good opportunity to reuse your waste.

"Six public officials died in the line of duty. In accordance with the imperial system, the subsequent honors and posthumous titles, as well as the compensation and preferential treatment for their families and descendants, will be properly arranged. In addition, in my personal name, I will take out twice the amount of treasures from the royal treasury to give to their families and descendants," Anzhen said. "These are their belongings."

The blue-gold sphere of light dispersed, revealing the flesh and broken bones within. The death was extremely gruesome; the body had been crushed into a ball and killed.

A bright red soul ring slowly condensed, and a 100,000-year-old right leg bone radiating extraordinary spiritual light fell out.

"The flesh and bones of this 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast will be given to their family and descendants to manage," An Zhen said. "As for the 100,000-year-old soul bone, there is still Xuan Ziwen, so we will compensate him."

"Thank you, Your Highness." A man with a sorrowful expression stepped out from the group and packed up the belongings of the six people.

Faced with the stark reality of their comrades' deaths, the people of the Sun Moon Empire were filled with righteous indignation, their weapons poised for battle.

"Humans!" The sea princess looked at Anzhen with an unfriendly expression.

"You still have a human Title Douluo in our hands. Aren't you afraid we'll kill him?"

"Hmph." An Zhen reached out, and the Sea Princess and the Sea Soul Beast with over ten thousand years of cultivation opposite her instantly became alert. After all, this person had just crushed a Sea Soul Beast with a hundred thousand years of cultivation to death with a single palm, as if swatting an ant.

The ocean's rejection came once again.

The sea spirit beasts suddenly felt as if the world had turned upside down.

The sea spirit beasts were all dumbfounded.

That's it again!

Why does the ocean favor this human, and not the sea spirit beasts?
A figure enveloped in blue-gold light burst forth from the deep sea, landing in the void beside An Zhen. It was Xuan Ziwen. However, Xuan Ziwen was in an extremely disheveled state. Being soaked to the bone was a minor matter; his aura was extremely weak, and his face was pale. While he wasn't exactly on his last breath, his life was certainly in danger. Even more serious was the fact that half of his right leg was gone, blue-green markings covering his wound.

An Zhen reached out and channeled her soul power into his body to check his injuries.

He is not in danger of dying, but there are some corrosive substances in his body, and his remaining right leg is also about to die.

"Your...Your Highness?" Xuan Ziwen weakly opened his eyes.

"Bear with it for a moment," An Zhen suddenly said, then slapped Xuan Ziwen's half-formed right leg. As Xuan Ziwen's face contorted in pain, unknown but harmful blue-green patterns gathered on his right leg. An Zhen raised his palm into a knife shape, with illusory light emanating from it, and chopped down at the root of Xuan Ziwen's thigh. Amid Xuan Ziwen's painful cry, the necrotic thigh fell onto the deck.

An Zhen flattened her hand, and a green orb of light appeared on it. She then pressed it against Xuan Ziwen's right thigh, injecting pure and rich life force into it.

"Go back and rest for a while, and your leg will grow back. Consider the remaining life force as one of your rewards." After saying that, he used his soul power to lift Xuan Ziwen onto the deck, and two officers took out a stretcher and lifted Xuan Ziwen up.

To avenge the martyrs.

The prisoners were rescued.

“Next,” An Zhen said, standing with her hands behind her back, her cold gaze sweeping over the numerous sea spirit beasts, “is to deal with you lot.”

Meanwhile, Kong Deming, who had been confronting Chen Jiujie, retreated to An Zhen's side, falling a step behind her.

"Your Highness is incredibly powerful!"

"Your Highness is incredibly powerful!"

Cheers, growing louder and louder, rang out behind An Zhen.

“You…” The Sea Princess exchanged a glance with Chen Jiujie, who had retreated to her side, as if they had communicated something telepathically. Then she looked at An Zhen and said, “Human powerhouse, how about we each take a step back? You return the Demon Soul Great White Shark beneath you to us, and this matter will be over. All other previous demands will be null and void. What do you say?”

The sea princess felt this human was too strange.

This was something that had actually caused her and the Sea God Douluo, who possessed a divine artifact, to lose the ocean's favor. Now, they were facing an old human man whose strength was no less than the Sea God Douluo's, and Xiaobai had told her that the Sun Moon Empire also had a powerful human who had defeated their entire race. Moreover, she vaguely sensed something threatening on the enemy's large ship. Under these circumstances, they were almost entirely at a disadvantage.

"Shake hands and make peace?" An Zhen's eyes revealed a playful and mocking look.

“Yes,” the Sea Princess said. “You are strong, as is the human empire behind you, but the power of the sea far exceeds your imagination.”

“You have offended the majesty of the sea god today. The sea is full of the sea god’s followers. If you announce this to the ocean, it will surely be met with a hundred responses. At that time, the situation will not be so easy to resolve.”

“I don’t want the Sun Moon Empire to suffer devastation either.” An Zhen glanced at the soldiers behind her, and before they could express their determination to defend the empire’s honor to the death, she suddenly changed the subject, “But that’s under the condition that the two sides are evenly matched.”

Anzhen took a step forward.

At this moment, the boy was as majestic as a god.

"Cultists of the Sea God? Today, I will fight those cultists of the Sea God!"

Reflection—the sea god!
